COMMENDATIONS  OF  THE  AMERICAN  STAi\ 
DARD  TEXT-BOOKS  AND  SYSTEM. 


Students,  teachers  and  professional  stenographers  speak  so  enthusiastically 
in  favor  of  the  system  that  we  can  only  tind  space  to  publish  extracts  from  their 
letters.  Many  of  the  professionals  are  writers  of  various  systems  who  have  been 
helped  by  the  improvements  found  in  the  American  Standard  Text-Books,  and  as 
they  are  well  known,  we  will  not  attempt  to  give  more  than  their  resident 
addresses. 

Better  than  Benn  Pitman. 

"  I  am  a  writer  of  the  Benn  Pitman  system,  but  find  the  American  Standard 
improvements  help  me  considerably  in  actual  work."— John  B.  Collins.  N.  V  City. 

"I  have  been  writing  the  Benn  Pitman  system  for  thirteen  years,  and  was 
about  to  begin  teaching  that  style,  but  being  so  highly  pleased  with  the  American 
Standard,  decioed  that  that  was  tne  system  to  use."— John  P.  Mann,  Dorchester. 
Mass. 

Better    than  Munson. 

"  I  am  going  to  give  up  the  Munson  system  and  use  the  American  Standard. 
I  want  a  system  in  which  the  majority  of  words  are  written  on  or  above  the  line. 
/  get  very  tired  trying  to  calculate  the  location  of  Munson's  outlines" — Rev 
Robert  F.  Smith,  Pleasant  Unity,  Pa. 

"  I  was  a  very  fair  Munson  writer,  reporting  in  Justices'  courts,  but  always 
had  trouble  in  reading  my  notes  by  t'lat  system.  After  studying  the  American 
Standard  a  short  time,  I  can  write  as  fast  as  1  could  in  my  old  system,  and  have  no 
trouble  at  all  in  reading  my  notes." — Frank  M.  Eddy,  Glenwood,  Minn. 

Better  than  Graham. 

"  I  have  burned  Graham's  Hand-Book." — C.  C.  Boslaw,  Hampton,  Neb. 

"  I  tried  to  master  Graham's  Hand-Book;  you  can  judge  what  my  opinion  of 
it  is  after  trying  your  excellent  Text-Books  in  private  study."— W.  J.  Lorshbough. 
Primghar,  la. 

"  I  had  been  studying  the  Graham  system,  but  could  make  little  or  no  head- 
way. As  soon  as  I  substituted  the  American  Standard  for  it  I  began  to  improve 
rapidly,  and  at  the  end  of  six  weeks  was  able  to  make  a  verbatim  report  (and 
read  it)  of  the  sermon  of  almost  any  minister  in  Charleston.  Thanks  to  the 
American  Standard  system,  I  am  to-day  the  confidential  clerk  of  the  superintend- 
ent of  a  wealthy  corporation." — A.  C.  Hamett,  Macon,  Ga. 

Easiest  System  to  Learn. 

"  I  learned  your  system  about  five  years  ago  without  a  teacher,  in  five  months 
from  the  beginning,  and  wrote  1-25  words  a  minute." — M.  H.  Wardwell,  Bangor,  Me 

"  I  have  taken  twenty  lessons  in  the  system  and  can  now  write  eighty-five 
words  per  minute." — Miss  Birdie  Schafer,  Reading,  Pa. 

"  I  have  been  reporting  in  the  courts  three  years,  having  learned  the  Ameri- 
can Standard  system  from  the  books  in  the  time  1  had  aside  from  my  regular 
work  as  clerk  of  the  court." — R.  H.  Pollock,  Pawnee  City,  Neb. 

"  I  speak  from  experience  in  saying  when  we  take  into  consideration  all  the 
most  desirable  points  that  are  prime  principles  of  accuracy,  legibility  and  speed,  I 
believe  the  American  Standard  to  be  the  best  system  in  the  world."— J.  Lawrence 
Mason,  Dennison,  O. 

Better  than  Other  Systems  Because 

"  It  is  systematic  and  based  on  never- varying  principles." — Robert  M.  Smith 
Lachine  Locks,  Que. 

"  Scott-Browne  writers  are  occupying  some  of  the  be»t  positions  in  this  ci«v. 
ind  their  emplovers  have  only  the  highest  praise  for  their  work." — Nellie  ft' 
-Jampton,  Cincinnati.  O 


THE  PURPOSE  OP   THIS  BOOK. 


In  business  correspondence  there  is  a  system  of  abbreviation  for 
certain  names,  phrases  and  terms;  and  these  abbreviations  are  not 
taught  in  the  schools,  so  that  even  a  graduate  of  Harvard  College 
will  show  as  great  deficiencies  in  business  letter  writing  as  a  boy 
from  the  rural  district.  Generally,  an  educated  person  will  write 
out  the  names  of  months,  states  and  other  contracted  words,  which 
in  business  correspondence,  are  not  only  out  of  place,  but  objec- 
tionable, because  they  are  regularly  established  abbreviations  and 
the  use  of  them  is  a  gain  in  time  or  amount  of  work  a  stenogra- 
pher can  accomplish  in  a  day;  and,  on  the  principle  that  "brevity 
is  the  soul  of  wit,"  accepted  abbreviations  are  the  soul  of  business. 
The  purpose  of  this  book  is  to  teach  the  accepted  abbreviations 
and  place  them  in  such  a  relation,  in  the  practice  exercises,  as  to 
make  it  impossible  for  the  student  of  shorthand  to  slight  them,  or 
even  to  think  he  has  any  right  to  take  the  liberty  to  make  abbre- 
viations of  .his  own.  It  is  not  unfrequently  that  a  student  writes 
"Vir."  for  Virginia,  "Geo."  for  Georgia,  or  makes  many  another 
contraction  for  a  word,  or  try  to  make  one  contraction  do  duty  for 
another.  There  are  occasions,  however,  where  special  contrac- 
tions have  to  be  made  for  frequently  occurring  words,  still  there 
are  regular  principles  of  contraction  to  guide  one  in  this  matter, 
and  they  should  be  learned  so  as  to  be  observed  when  occasion 
may  demand.  Chapter  XXVI  of  Part  II.  Text  Book  of  1  honogra- 
phy  gives  the  necessary  rules  and  illustrations  for  this  kind  of 
abbreviation.  The  graduate  of  shorthand,  who  is  not  prepared 
to  write  the  correct  abbreviations,  both  in  the  shorthand  form  and 
in  his  typewriter  transcript,  according  to  the  method  in  print,  will 
find  it  hard  to  secure  a  position  in  a  business  office,  no  difference 
what  proficiency  he  may  have  in  shorthand  and  typewriting. 

This  is  the  only  book  that  has  been  prepared  by  any  shorthand 
author  on  the  subject  of  names,  phrases  and  contractions  and  it  is 
so  prepared  that  it  may  be  used  as  a  dictation  book  and  written 
over  time  and  again  till  the  correct  longhand  and  shorthand  abbre- 
viations are  learned.  The  book  will  be  found  to  contain  the  most 
valuable  business  information  to  be  had  by  students  or  young 
stenographers.  THE  AUTHOR.

YOU  CAN  DO  WHAT  OTHERS  HAVE  DONE. 


From  W.  Bennyhoff,  Fort  Dodge.  la.:  "I  want  to  say  that  your  system  can  be 
easily  learned,  having  learned  it  myself  in  eleven  week's  study  without  any  other 
aid  than  the  Text.  Books." 

From  R.  H.  Pollock,  Official  Court  Stenographer,  Pawnee  City,  Neb.:  "I 
have  been  in  the  courts  now  nearly  three  years  having  learned  your  system  by 
private  study,  and  at  the  mere  cost  of  books  alone,  in  the  time  I  had  aside  from 
my  regular  business."
